I go on Twitter so you don’t have to
Every weekend, indie devs show off current work on Twitter’s#screenshotsaturdaytag. And every Monday, I bring you a selection of these snaps and clips. This week, my eye has been caught by the feature every single video game on this green Earth should have (a grappling hook), along with waterparks, a plant knight, a chunky shotgun, a kitbashed hovercarrier, and heaps more. Check out all these attractive and interesting indie games!
Perhaps following Sekiro’s example, upcoming soulslikeCerulean Singe(coming to Steam) understands that you can add a grappling hook to just about anything:

I always like seeing how things change over the course of development, so here’s something terrible from Lovecraftian survival horrorThe Sinking City 2(coming via Kickstater):
“From the shadows of imagination emerges the evolution of an eternal nightmare…“📽️ The road from first iterations to final design of our eldritch monster. Any ideas on what its name is?#Lovecraftian#SurvivalHorror#ScreenshotSaturdaypic.twitter.com/wVPzpAYH8r

I’ve been watching the development of waterpark build-o-management game Aqua Mundo (coming to Steam) across months of Screenshot Saturdays, and it’s starting to look really good:

I would have really enjoyed a breakdown of all the parts this is kitbashed from (“it’s really just a bunch of boat parts with a thruster slapped on,” he explained inanother tweet), but it’s a nice result in Visegunne:
Totally kitbashed this carrier sprite together just so I could let this jet boss do a mid-air vertical takeoff. It’s silly but I kind of love it, haha.#gamedev#indiedev#indiedeveloper#screenshotsaturday#pixelartpic.twitter.com/AT3R9XYlzm
